Its ebony fingerboard and bridge provide a smooth, responsive feel and long-lasting durability. The nitrocellulose finish enhances the resonance of the all-solid wood body, improving its tonal characteristics over time. The ergonomic cutaway design ensures easy access to the upper frets, making it ideal for exploring lead lines or solos.

Very happy with this guitar so far. The guitar I received was perfect. The fit, finish and action are all excellent. It sounds good without the electronics, but it sounds incredible when you turn it on. It's my go to "acoustic" now. It's great for writing, practicing and performing.
This guitar is fantastic!

It is a great guitar for sitting in my music room and laying down a back track then practice playing scales with that back track. Im learning to play better especially scales and runs up and down the neck. I am playing more than I have in a longtime. It's fun and creative. I have the first edition of the transacustic guitar line from Yamaha the FS-TA. With addition of a second transducer the sound more full. The reverb and choris is enough but adding in delay and looping takes your playing experience to whole new level. You will not be disappointed with this guitar!
Great guitar

I love the way this plays, good action, nice tone, and feels great, not to mention the built in effects, so there's no need to lug around an amp and pedals. I definitely recommend

I've been a player and professional singer songwriter now for 60 years. I've owned14 top Martin's and 3 top Taylors along the way. This TAG3-C I recently got plays with the ease of an electric guitar and the tone is MORE balanced than any of the others I've owned over the years.
Beautiful sound! Action and playability are really top notch

I was in the market for a new, nicer Acoustic guitar. I play mostly for small get-togethers and this is perfect for my needs. This is a solid-body guitar and the sound is amazing. Having the option of adding reverb, chorus, delay, and looping without extra pedals or an amp, is just icing on the cake of a very well-made guitar.
